SAN FRANCISCO, March 11th.-Sinee the.
interstate commerce bill became law
there has been a great deal of anxiety
among the fruit-growers of the State lest
tic enforcement would prevent the ship
ment of fruit to the East at living rates,
and thus ruin the industry in this State.
1--WE shall make no difference IN the
fruit rates on account OF the law, unless we
are compelled to, said General Western
Freight Agent Eecles, OF the Union PacIte,
to-day. 1--WE have been very much wor-
ried about the matter for some time, but
have decided that we can classify all fruits
under one head and make low rate on
them without laying ourselves liable to the
charge of making special rates-ln fact, the
intention of the railroad companies IS TO
reduce the rate for fruit shipments this
wear rather than increase them"
